  Step 1

  The first thing you need to do is paint your match box, inside and out. It takes a few coats but dries fast. I did mine in brown.

• Step 2

  While your box is drying you can get started on the other parts. First you need to make your accordion for your pictures. So, cut a piece of cardstock at about 2″x12″ (It might not be exactly at 2″ but trim it to fit in your matchbox) Score and fold at about 1 1/2″ increments. (Again adjust to fit your matchbox.)

• 

  Step 3

  Now that you have you accordion all ready its time to create your mini scrapbook pages in your photo editing program. My album has 9 pages. You also will need to measure around your match box and create a piece to wrap around it and create piece to cover the chipboard on the top. Here are all my pieces printed and cut out.

  Step 4

  Now come the really fun part! Putting it all together. Before I put any of my pieces together I sanded and inked all the edges.

• 

  Step 5

  Then I glued my pages to my accordion and glued the accordion into the bottom of my box.

• 

  Step 6

  Then I created the top of my box, I used the chip board which is sized just a little bit bigger than my match box top. I glued my printed out paper to the top and then my cute little top piece. Like this:

  Step 7

  Now you just have to put your little Brad on the front for a little “handle.”

  Step 8

  Now you have the cutest little box full of your Treasures!
